What is the statute of limitations on a parking ticket in Texas?

There is no statute of limitations. The purpose of the statute of limitations is to prevent someone being surprised by being charged with a crime years after it occurred, when witnesses are no longer available and memories are foggy. A ticket being issued means that you already know about the crime. It sounds like you may have received one of those "old" tickets that have been coming out of Texas lately, some even back to the Eighties. If it is from a "law office" be very skeptical. Send in a demand for verification and a request for the court record. Usually they can't produce anything and will have to drop it. Do not ignore the letter since it is possible they could suspend your license.

The statute of limitations for misdemeanor traffic offenses is two years. Most traffic offenses are misdemeanors but there are exceptions like racing that results in bodily injury; exceptions have a three year SOL.

The issuing jurisdiction can collect on the ticket at any point. It used to be common for places to have an amnesty of fines. But with the economy the way it is currently is, they probably won't be offered
